One of the most important aspects of a GIS software suite is the output of data.
Either for internal use or delivery to third parties.
Therefore we list all print and export functions below.
The Print section relates to all functions that have a print out on paper as a result. It explains not only how to make a print, but also how to make and manage print layouts in Orbit.
The Export section lists all exports of data in Orbit. This data can mean datasets, in the available formats, images, indicating a resolution and output format, or lists of surveyed data.
